We should ride together when you get your bike. I am trying to get to know some locals who can show me some good roads on the island. There are plenty nice asphalt roads such as Port de Andratx to Banyalbufar and then to Deia, Soller all the way to Lluc. But finding suitable gravel, offroad roads is difficult. Most parts of the island are private lands.

Hi Everybody !!!
My name is Facu, I´m 35 yo, was born in Argentina, but live in Spain for the last 25 years.
On 5th January 2008 will travel with my 99 Xr 600 R to Africa to follow the Lisboa-Dakar rally on the morocco stages.
When I come back I promise to post a thread with pics of the ride (if I do come back, hope so, hahahahahaaha).

I want to order some KTM stuff (spare parts, accessories etc) Checked with www.ktm-versand.de but their shipment cost for a small package (around 1.5kg) is 40 euros!
Are there any Spanish based companies selling KTM parts and accessories?

Hello everyone, another transplant here in Madrid from California. I plan on staying here for a couple of years, living with my girlfriend from La Coruña.

How do I go about getting a legit Moto liscence here. I never had one in the states due to the fact that all of my riding was off highway and I want to get something for running around the city and comuting to Majadahonda for work.

By the way I live near Metro Cuzco, Calle Orense if any of you might know where that is.

Che Facu, I hope you had a great trip, though I understand the race was cancelled this year. I'm here in Barcelona with an Africa Twin, want to go for a ride some day?

Boonie it looks like you had a great time too... I'm off to Morocco again next sept, this time with a bunch of friends from back home in Vancouver who are flying over. We're flying into Marrakech and renting DRZ 400's. I have to make the sacrifice of leaving my AT at home in order to do this trip with my mates. In the photos you posted where is that big hill climb? We want to go over the high Atlas near that ski resort and not the Tizi Test or Tischka, know anything about it? Any other gems to share with me?

Thinking about a north spain meet again reackon it could be a long weekend deal

As a suggestion in September or October when the weather gets a little cooler. There is a bunch of guys riding the pyrenees, how about meeting up and getting them dirty. Or even a few K's in the Pyrenees or ?????????
